General - Part Number Breakdown

Part Numbers

Sun part numbers consist of nine numerical digits separated with dashes (-) into three components; Class Code, Base Number, and Dash Number. A revision number or letter is used with each part number.

Class Codes identify similar parts.

Base Numbers are assigned sequentially. A higher base number does not necessarily indicate a new or improved part.

Revisions 50 to 99 indicate that a part is engineering released. Revisions A to Z indicate that a part is production released.
